Question Asked: I love my girlfriend but I am beginning to lose feeling for her. What can I do?
This is very hard for me to explain since it all started with a dream ( a nightmare actually). I dreamed that I once cheated on my girlfriend
and since then I've been losing attraction. Don't get me wrong, I love her, she's an amazing woman but lately I'm scared of my own feelings
towards her like something is pushing me to end the relationship, which is the thing I don't actually want. Before that, I was actually lookin
forward moving with her and be with her by all means but now it's like I can't feel that same way, like I've gotten used to her so much.. We'redating for almost 9 months now, could it be that the "butterflies" at the beginning of the relationship be replaced with more real life
feelings?I love her so much but I'm scared of all these negative thoughts i sometimes wish there was black and white but for me it's not. She'svery attractive, beautiful, smart, funny, all of these things it makes me feel scared and even cried when i think about what is missing. I
don't want to move on to another girl because I love her, it's just that I can't or I don't know anymore how to maintain the same feelings I'vehad at the beginning. Anyone dealt with the same thing here? And no, I don't want to break up, I'm just scared. please help!!
Answer From Robyn:
It is awesome that you are reaching out. A few things come to mind for me, first of all, unfortunately the butterfly "I'm so in love with you" feelings don't stay forever. Once those are over it turns into deep down love and respect of the person that you are with. There are things
that you can do to keep the juice alive though.
One of our human needs that we have to have is Uncertainty otherwise known as Variety. Now this doesn't mean a variety in partners but variety in your relationship. When a couple gets into routine with each other it dulls the passion. Couples really need to consistently do things that thrill, juice, or fulfill their partner. This could be keeping your partner's love tank full by the different love languages, or it can be
surprise dates, sexy outfits, flowers or whatever. From what I have seen and experienced is after a while of being together, couples don't
make-out any more unless they are having sex. If, for example, instead of the routine peck on the lips I Love You kiss goodbye in the morning, if there was a quick but passionate kiss in the morning, both of your days will be much brighter, wouldn't you agree?
When people are in dating mode, they purposely impress the other person. They dress nice, they open the doors, they do fun things to make sure they have a great time. After they have been together a while, the courting rituals slow down and usually stop. It would only be natural for
the juicy feelings to slowly dull out. Right?
A couple of things that you can do is to sit and remember what melted your heart with this girl. I have no doubt that in the beginning you
couldn't wait to see her again and you thought of her all day. Think about those feelings and really feel them all over again. Know looking
back at that time and now, what have you stopped doing and what has she stopped doing to juice each other? Talk to her and tell her that you
want to do those things again. If you two are on purpose, you can fall in love every day. Relationships just like life have to be worked on andgrowing or they are dying. You can't put the car in neutral and expect to get to your destination.
Another thing that you can do, since people will do more to avoid pain then they will to gain pleasure, is you can imagine that she just told
you that she was leaving you. She wasn't happy any more. Really experience this happening, feel it. If you have ever had a heartbreak before,
you know that you will start wanting her back more than anything else. You will think about what an amazing person she is and it kills you to
think about her being with someone else. You will think about all of the mistakes and you will kick yourself in the ass for letting her go.
Really feel this experience. Now write her a letter telling her from your core how you really feel about her, apologize for any mistakes that
you have made, how you think you two can get those amazing feelings back, etc. If you are ok with her breaking up with you, then you will know that she probably is not the right person for you.
I really hopes this helps.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the amount of problems that come your way? Do you take the problems personally as if you are a failure or do you look at every problem as a gift? Watch the video below.

This is one of my favorite song from Billy Joel. I put up the video that has the lyrics because I think the words are crucial for you to hear if you are still living with pain from your past relationships. This song is about a new man in someone’s life that is willing to work with her through the pain that she still has and the fear of a new relationship. He wants her to trust him that he will help her get through it but he makes it very clear that he is not the one who hurt her. It is a very powerful song.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”

Are you carrying around all of the past failures in relationships and all of the bad things that have happened to you in the past? Sometimes we don’t realize the weight that we carry around. When people say “all men are jerks” or “all women are b*tches” that means that they are bringing with them all of the hurts from their past relationships and they are expecting everyone they meet from here on out are going to be the same way or treat them the same way. It is not true. If you are doing this unconsciously, STOP! Forgive and forget the bad things that have happened in the past. Everything that happened in the past was either a lesson for you or a lesson for the other person. Always take the good from every situation and then learn something. Even if the past was ugly for you, it served you in some way. Start fresh today with a clean slate.
